Home theater sound

Using this system you can enjoy listening to sources, analog or digital, in either stereo or surround sound.

Auto listening mode

The Auto listening mode is the simplest way to listen to any source as it was mastered: the output from the speakers mirrors the channels in the source material.

AUTO

•Press AUTO to select the ‘Auto’ listening mode.

If the source is Dolby Digital or DTS, the

2 DIGITAL or DTS indicator on the front panel lights.

•Any previously active Dolby Pro Logic or Advanced Surround mode is cancelled when Auto listening mode is selected.

Listening in surround sound

You can listen to any source—stereo or multichannel, analog or digital—in surround sound. Surround sound is generated from stereo sources using one of the Dolby Pro Logic decoding modes.

SURROUND

ENTER

•Press SURROUND repeatedly to select a listening mode (or press SURROUND

then use the	(cursor up/down)
buttons).

The listening mode choices that appear in the display will vary according to the type of source that’s playing.

•Auto – Auto listening mode (see above)

•Dolby Digital / DTS – Dolby Digital or DTS decoding (depending on the source). For a multichannel source, this will be the same as Auto.

•Pro Logic – 4.1 channel surround sound for use with any two-channel source

•Movie – Pro Logic II 5.1 channel surround sound, especially suited to movie sources, for use with any two-channel source
